Rome, 1964. As 13 year old André stands at the foot of the gangway to the ship, his mother fusses over their luggage - 32 suitcases, trunks and tea chests that contain their world. The ship will refuel and return to Alexandria, the home where they have left their father, as the Aciman family begin a new adventure. André is now head of the family, with a little brother to keep in line and a mother to translate for - for although she's mute, she is nothing if not communicative. Equal parts transporting and beautiful, this coming of age memoir shares the luminous, fragile truth of life for a family forever in exile, living in Rome, but still yet to find a home.[Bokinfo].

The memoir explores the author's experiences in Rome following his family's exile from Egypt, capturing the cultural adjustments and emotional challenges they faced. It reflects on themes of displacement, identity, and the search for belonging as they navigate life in a new city before ultimately relocating to America. Through vivid storytelling, the author shares personal anecdotes that highlight the complexities of adapting to a foreign environment while holding onto their heritage.

A dazzling, sunbaked Italian summer story from the global bestselling author of Call Me By Your Name.

**AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW** From the multi-million copy bestselling author of Call Me By Your Name 'Aciman writes with an aching sensitivity.' JOHN BOYNE 'You don't so much read André Aciman's novels as tumble breathlessly into them.' THE TIMES Have you ever had the sense that maybe all lives are nothing more than the chronicle of countless stinging might-have-beens that continue to haunt us? In the scorching New York heat, a hundred people wait to be selected as jurors. Paul is reading a newspaper. Catherine is reading a novel. So begins a whirlwind flirtation: over cappuccinos in Manhattan and gallery trips to Chelsea, Paul and Catherine escape into the illusion of an Italian getaway. Their feelings quickly evolve into something deeper, something - as mature adults with lives of their own - Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret, with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question. But as the sultry summer week draws to a close, the end of their rendezvous comes into focus, and Paul and Catherine are forced to decide whether to act on their feelings or leave the fantasy of what could have been to the annals of the past.

The bestselling author of Find Me and Call Me by Your Name returns to the essay form with this collection of thoughts on time, the creative mind, and great lives and works. The irrealis mood knows no boundaries between what is and what isn't, between what happened and what won't.

Leo Gazzarra sa túla uličkami Ríma ako vystrihnutými z Felliniho. Nádejný mladík, takmer vždy bez práce a ambícii, sa v alkoholovom opare necháva unášať večným mestom, medzi barmi a príbytkami bohatších priateľov, bez ktorých by asi umrel od hladu. Keď v deň svojich tridsiatych narodenín stretne zvodnú Ariannu, svet sa mu obráti hore nohami. Celú noc jazdia ospalým Rímom, popíjajú, raňajkujú a zase popíjajú. Netrvá to však dlho a osudová kráska sa mu začne pred očami strácať v záhyboch milovaného mesta, ktoré s každým ránom páli spomienky na včerajší večer. Posledné leto v meste medzi prvými objavila talianska spisovateľka Natalia Ginzburg. Román spisovateľa a scenáristu Gianfranca Calligaricha prvýkrát vyšiel už v roku 1973, ale až po takmer päťdesiatich rokoch sa z neho stala literárna senzácia, ktorú čitatelia a čitateľky na celom svete zaraďujú medzi klasiky ako Veľký Gatsby alebo Kto chytá v žite.

Eine lebenslustige jüdische Großfamilie aus allen Ecken der Welt. In Alexandria kommen sie zusammen, zanken, necken, befehden und versöhnen sich in einem halben Dutzend Sprachen. Sie sind Bankiers, Kaufleute, Faulenzer und Träumer, die hier ihr Paradies gefunden haben. Die beiden Großväter trauen einander nicht über den Weg, die Großmütter unterhalten eine damenhafte Freundschaft, während der schwindelnde Großonkel philosophische Fragen zu stellen pflegt. Die Ankunft der aus Nazideutschland geflüchteten Tante lässt erste Wolken aufziehen, und bald lauscht alles auf das Vorrücken von Rommels Panzern. Doch die Lebensfreude lässt die Familie sich nicht nehmen. Sie lebt und liebt, bis sie vom Wind der politischen Ereignisse wieder zerstreut wird.
